Photography

I got my first camera at age 4 and have been documenting the world through photos ever since. Studio space is something I have recently been able to dabble with as I have learned more about the art of lighting and directing.

My task for this assignment was to infuse a photograph with a specific mood, particularly looking to evoke danger. Through experimentation with gels in the studio, I aimed to capture a powerful portrayal of a woman who exudes both strength and threat.

Studio Lighting

My project goal was to get comfortable using hair lighting in the studio. The objective was to shoot a silhouette photo and then adjust the lighting to convey the mood of the photo: isolation.

Travel

When I travel, I’m drawn to capturing diverse perspectives of the world. Kelti, a dog who joyfully accompanies her human on cross-country adventures. Below Kelti, a group of tourists explore Salzburg, Austria, making their way towards the hike to Hohensalzburg Fortress.

Food is always a challenging thing to photograph as you want your viewers to be overwhelmed with hunger. In these two separate projects I chose to take the overhead perspective to capture these desserts in their most realistic form.

Content Creation

Beezer’s, an existing gourmet sandwich shop, faced an outdated branding that deserved to be brought to life. My team, Polina Tappan, Xavier Martin and I ventured into the store to help bring life to their instagram by capturing the feeling of the shop.

Web Design

Using original photos and logos, Beezer’s is able to spruce up their instagram and website. Despite boasting a strong base of loyal customers, a contemporary aesthetic will expand their reach to new audiences.

Glossier Campaign
Original photos and design

I was tasked with creating content for a large brand in their own style. While doing this campaign, my hope is to bring consistent traffic to their Instagram page through fresh photos. I want women to see a bare faced, unedited woman modeling their products.

Journalistic

In its purest form, photography freezes moments of sheer beauty in life. Below, we witness Adde and Noah Terrando basking in the magic of their engagement in Houston, Texas.

Graphics

Pen to paper has always been a comfort to me. As I have begun to expand my visual knowlegde, stylus to tablet has been one of my greatest forms of expressing myself.

Illustrative

After photographing student Mikayla Woolley, I began using layered colors to illustrate in a way that most fit both her personality and my style of eclectic and abstract art. I aimed to seamlessly blend photography with illustration to capture attention.

Infographics

When tasked with designing a coffee-related infographic, I faced the challenge of crafting a piece of work that effectively communicated the way young coffee drinkers have changed the game of coffee. I used coffee grounds for texture, simplistic typography and captivating graphics to make the information easily digestible.

"Getting Help Getting Cute" is a sizable infographic on interior design, presenting a challenge to infuse elements that accentuate my content. "Booze, Blood, and Baddies," is targeted towards young adults celebrating halloween as they continue to change the game of the holiday.

Adidas

While creating content and videos in Berlin. my team and I constructed a print magazine of everything we learned while researching and experiencing the life of Adidas.

Logo

Inspired by Space Montrose, a local boutique store in Houston, I rebranded using a modified version of their existing color pallette, blues and pinks, and inner city, groovy asthetic. I used the new logo to make business cards and store front sign.
